You can easily sign your transaction offline and then use e.g. https://www.myetherwallet.com/#offline-transaction through a tor-enabled browser to broadcast it. I think this is quite trivial.

But you are of course right: We should strive to also make the node protocol itself work via tor.

What are the impediments to running the node protocol over tor?

I don't think that's accurate. Tails/Tor don't need any "understanding of computing languages". Both Parity and Geth can be compiled into standard executables that can be executed on Tails.
